What's The Last Movie You’ve Seen?

Sinister (2012, 65% on RT)


If you haven't seen it and you're into crime/thriller drama then this is pretty scary at times and has a pretty unique storyline to keep things interesting. Ethan Hawk did it justice too.

I liked it quite a bit. I believe there is a sequel too

I just watched Drag Me to Hell (2009, 92% on RT). It's a touching drama about investment banking.

Pretty funny show. Truly should be in the comedy genre
 
Can't wait to see this new Captain America movie. I love war flicks. Hopefully it's as good as Platoon.
 
Just saw Civil War and have a question.

So the villain's elaborate scheme was to lure Iron Man and company to some bunker so that he could... umm, show them a video?

Why did he have to go through all that just to show someone a video? Couldn't he have just texted it to Tony Stark?

Am I totally missing something? (entirely possible)

I have to agree with OL on this one. I mean the whole Iron Man/Bucky past reveal was cool and added to the story, but after the big Iron Man vs Captain America team fight it wasn't that great.

The only part I can say I really enjoyed more than the average Marvel movie were the Spiderman parts (including the major fight scene where Ant-Man and Spiderman where really the two best by far), which were awesome. Other than that it was just good, left me with pretty much the same feeling every other Marvel movie has left me with.

*not really a spoiler, but something that didn't happen that I wish did*
The movie would have been way better if someone died. Some sense of danger to the heroes needs to be added to the universe.

Yeah, I basically feel the same way.

I've been saying the same thing for a long time. The Avengers movies lack a lot of intensity for me cause I never believe any of the characters are ever in any real danger; they just kick the living **** out of everything in their path. Even if they get hurt, it's not long before they're totally fine again. I was excited when Don Cheadle's character fell from the sky, thought maybe someone would finally die...but nope.

I thought his plan was to kill the other super-soldiers?


Edit: Apparently his main plan was to drive a wedge between the Avengers... the subplot of the super-soldiers didn't really work in one reviewer's opinion (which is exactly what I found as well, it was snooze inducing at best). Here is an article as to what Zemo's plans were:

Yeah, the author of that article seems to agree that Zemo's plot doesn't make sense.
 
The beauty of Captain America, to me, though, is what he's able to accomplish with bare hands and a (stupid?) shield.


I mean, considering the special powers of everyone else around him, he shouldn't even BE a captain, he should be more of a foot soldier.

This article describes another one of my questions about the movie: about how CA seems completely different ideologically.

OK but in the earlier instalment "The Winter Soldier", remember how Captain America was forced to question the authority? SHIELD was supposed to be SOLID but due to Hydra's infiltration, SHIELD was inherently corrupt....


So it follows that following that bad experience with authority he questions the UN oversight, etc... I thought that's a pretty consistent stance for him to take when you really think about it.

I would describe WS as him fighting the idea of organizations who answer to no one; making everyone accountable; creating transparency; putting the power back in the people's hands.

But in CW someone tells him that the Avengers are killing tons of innocent people and they need to be put in check and let the citizens of the world have a say in how they operate. So of course he responds with, "NO GUIS WE'RE AVENGERS WE ANSWER TO NO1!!! **** THE HATERZZZ!!"

(but I do see what you're saying lol)
